Weasley is our king at Hogwarts

Chapter 29 The Observatory

"Fred, shall we continue exploring the second floor tonight?" George walked in the corridor outside the Transfiguration classroom and asked Fred next to him in a low voice.

Fred also lowered his head and replied: "Maybe not at night. We have classes in the evening on astronomy. I don't know what time it will be."

"Ah... why are there classes at night!" George wailed directly.

"Let's go. After the Transfiguration class, I'm really hungry. Let's go have dinner first." Fred suggested.

Fred was enjoying a candlelight dinner in the Great Hall. After finishing his classes these days, Fred actually felt that the courses at Hogwarts were quite difficult.

The five days a week are full of classes almost every day. Only Friday afternoon is completely free. Sometimes I have to take four classes a day, and most professors leave extra homework.

For example, Professor McGonagall is extremely strict. Currently, she has the most extracurricular homework. Today was the first Transfiguration class, and Professor McGonagall asked the little wizards to write a transformation spell on a foot-long parchment. The use regulations made the little wizards complain endlessly.

While Fred was still thinking about how to write the rules for using Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Spell, the ghost of Gryffindor, Sir Nicholas, floated in from the large spire colored window of the Great Hall.

It floated to the Gryffindor table, "Good evening, children, I have a message for you from your astronomy professor. Remember to bring your telescopes to the astronomy tower at midnight."

"Where is the astronomy tower? Sir Nicholas." Before Fred could ask, a little wizard shouted.

"The tall tower in the central courtyard is the Astronomy Tower," Sir Nicholas replied.

"Thank you, Sir Nicholas."

"You're welcome, kid." Sir Nicholas took off his head again and saluted, but it seemed that the little wizards of Gryffindor were very adaptable and watched Sir Nicholas' performance with a smile while devouring the food.

After Fred finished his dinner, it was completely dark. After resting for a while in the Gryffindor common room, Fred took the telescope he bought in Diagon Alley and the Gryffindor pocketbook. The wizards came together to the central courtyard.

Starting from the small stairs at the back of the central courtyard, they began to spiral upward. After walking up many steps, the little wizards were exhausted.

Fred heard a woman's rich voice from upstairs not far away, "Come on, kids, we'll be there soon! Come on!"

The little wizards now knew that it was not far away, so they cheered up and started climbing again.

After a while, Fred finally saw a small door with an oval roof. The door was wide open. Through the small door, he could see the sparse and bright stars outside.

Fred stepped out of the small door in one step, and a cool night breeze blew across Fred's face, dispelling the heat and fatigue from climbing the stairs for a long time.

In front of you is the circular top of the tower, and the outermost periphery is a pillar and wall made of blue and black bricks.

In the middle stood a tall, dark-skinned black woman wearing a big black wizard hat. She turned her back to the little wizards and looked at the stars in the sky.

"Ding ding dong dong~"

"Dingling Dangling~"

There was a strange noise on the other side of the observatory, and the little wizards all turned their faces to see what was causing the strange thing.

At this time, the rich voice of the black woman sounded again, "Don't pay attention to those voices, they are Slytherin's ghost Barrow. He is always tinking here alone, and he doesn't know what he is doing. But don’t worry, he won’t interrupt our class.”

"Let me introduce myself first. We are your astronomy professor, Aurora Sinista, from the magic school in Mount Moon, Wagadu, Uganda, Africa." Professor Sinista smiled.

Then she shook her golden telescope in her hand and said, "Come on, children, have you brought your telescopes?"

"Bring it~" the little wizards replied in unison.

"Very good!" Professor Sinistra continued, pointing to the starry sky, "Our astronomy is about studying the orbits of stars and planets, and we don't need to use any magic."

Professor Sinister looked at the little wizards who were a little confused, "Some people may ask at this time, isn't Hogwarts a school of magic? Why is there a course like astronomy that does not require magic at all?"

"It's normal to have such doubts, because the astronomy we teach now is actually a simplified version of ancient astrology. Real astrology can capture the trajectory of fate through the stars." Professor Sinistra sighed.

"However, it has been lost now, but it is said that the centaurs still retain the orthodox inheritance of astrology, while the human tradition has been lost. How ironic this is." Professor Sinistra's face was filled with regret.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Today we will observe and learn about Jupiter, because it is the easiest star to observe, and things like Mercury need to be observed at a specific time." Professor Sinistra Stretch out your finger and point to a star in the night sky.

Fred looked in the direction of Professor Sinistra's hand. It was a star several times larger than the other stars next to it!Shining light!

Fred picked up his telescope and put it in front of his eyes. Through the telescope, Fred could see farther. The originally large stars were magnified several times and he could even see some textures clearly.

Professor Sinister corrected their direction one by one to ensure that the stars they observed were correct. When she walked to Li Qiaodan, she was originally happy, maybe because Li Qiaodan was like him. skin color.

However, the next second he looked in the direction of Li Qiaodan's telescope, "Why are you looking at the moon! That's the moon! Jupiter is over here!"

Professor Sinister held Li Qiaodan's telescope with his hand to correct him, and then walked away with satisfaction.

To be honest, astronomy class was boring, and staring at a star was more than Fred and George could bear.

Everyone was looking at the telescope, Fred and George were bored, and there was a lot of noise behind the observatory tower.

Fred suggested: "George, let's go to the back and have a look?"

"Let's go! If you don't go, I'm going to go crazy!" George ran away.

Fred quickly followed.

There was a shed behind the small spire that the little wizards walked up to, and there was the sound of Bloody Barro talking to himself, and there were constant tinkling sounds.

Fred slowed down, trying not to make a sound, and he and George lay on the wall of the small tower and slowly touched it.

Bloody Barro's voice became clearer and clearer, "It's all your fault! It's all your fault! Why are you so impulsive!"

"Ding-ding~dang-dang~" seems to be the sound of gold and iron intersecting?

Fred stuck his head out just enough to see what was going on underneath the shed.

Bloody Barrow's robe is still covered in bloodstains. He is tall, thin, and a gray ghost sitting on the ground, beating the thick shackles on his feet with his gray hands!

I go!Fred didn't know if the ghost could feel pain, but judging from Bloody Barrow's strength, he might have broken his bones!

George was also shocked, "Merlin's fattest briefs! What is this guy doing!"

"Shh!" Fred quickly raised his index finger on the other side to tell George not to make a sound, but Fred was still a step too late.

The small shed instantly became quiet, "Who! Who's there!" Bloody Barrow's hoarse and cold voice came through.

"Run!" Fred pushed George's shoulder directly, and then ran in the direction of Professor Sinistra.

Came from behind, "You two red-haired boys, I remember you!"

Fred and George squeezed back into the group of Gryffindor wizards, but Bloody Barrow did not chase them. Obviously, he could not disturb the students in class.

Bloody Barrow's last words made Fred a little worried, telling Bloody Barrow to remember that that was not a good thing, but he and George didn't do anything to him, so what should he be afraid of!

After listening to Professor Sinistra talk about Jupiter all night, finally at 1 o'clock in the morning, the little Gryffindor wizards were sent back to their dormitories.

At this time, Fred and George had no intention of going out to explore. They were too sleepy, so they washed their faces and brushed their teeth and went straight to bed.

-------------------------------------

The next day was a rainy and gloomy day.

In the first spells class in the morning, Professor Flitwick just asked everyone to consolidate their practice of the Levitation Charm. After all, there were still many young wizards who had not yet mastered it.

The second class was herbal medicine. Professor Sprout gave each little wizard a pot of fresh vegetables and a magical animal as big as a green bud in the palm of his hand.

This little animal seems to be a small green bud, with two small eyes and two green leaves on its head, but the ones on everyone's hands look wilted.

Professor Sprout looked at the little wizards standing in two rows next to the stage and said, "The names of these poor little wizards you have are bowtruckles. They fought with a woodpecker yesterday to protect their big tree. Fan, each one was slightly injured, and Hagrid sent them to me for help."

"I thought that this would be an opportunity for everyone to get familiar with the characteristics of Bai Xian. After all, if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't have much knowledge of the effects of Bai Xian." Professor Sprout explained.

"Okay, everyone, put down the Bowtruckle first, and follow me. First, pick a few fresh white leaves from the flower pot in front of you, and rub the leaves to get the juice."

"Finally, gently hold the Bowtruckle up with the other hand, find its wound, squeeze out a few drops of juice from the white fresh leaves after rubbing, and aim at the Bowtruckle's wound." Professor Sprout As she spoke, she accurately dripped the fresh white juice onto the Bowtruckle in her hand.

Fred followed suit and dripped the fresh white juice on the Bowtruckle's small arm, which was originally yellow and had holes.
